PBY - Listen my friend, I've
got to tell you, Manny Mo and
Jack, Pep Boys, they've got no
pep, they've got no game... I do
not want to be in that stock...
There was a nice put pop after a
good quarter, and then right
back down... Sell, sell, sell...
I say if you get any source of
flip ups to $10 again, you sell
some of it... And I would not be
adverse to sell some of it right
here.
BW - All of these are
related to
Boeing (BA),
as is
Allegheny Technologies Inc.
(ATI),
we have, as soon as BA started
losing attitude, every one of
these had to be sold... The last
one I got caught on was
Precision Castparts (PCP),
which I still like, but it's
down, it's almost cut in half...
Anything related to aerospace...
witness
United Technologies
(UTX),
a really fabulous firm, all the
way down to a 52-week low
today... No, these, everyone of
these, anything connected with
BA has just been trashed... Do I
predict a comeback?... If there
is a comeback it will be with
UTX and it will be with
Honeywell
(HON),
not with any of these other
suppliers, because boy, are they
down... Because, also, Airbus is
down... Neither one can make the
planes, and there are very few
customers... Look at the fact
that
Aircastle LTD (AYR),
$8 bucks, look at the
Genesis Lease Limited (GLS),
that's another one that's
terrible, $10 bucks... No, we
don't have any buyers there, we
don't have any buyers... And the
airlines are only going to get
worse, not better.
STI - No, that's not same
old STI that I respected and
loved, that's the STI that has
really stumbled and stubbed its
toe... You know, they own a lot
of
Coca-Cola (KO),
I don't know, someone's selling
that KO, that's a stock at a
52-week low, that's a
Warren Buffett
stock... But I want to be very
honest with you... STI is just a
shadow of its former self...
It's still one more bank that
used to be very conservative and
good, that has gotten off the
radar, off the reservation, that
one has left the reservation...
I'm seeing a couple days where
the financials might be able to
rally... And what you need to do
is sell, sell, sell... STI is
not the sun that I used to
trust.
OI - Totally flummoxed... We
had the CEO of OI, he was
standing right here... He was,
he was one of these guys...
Anyway, and here's what
happened... I mean, this guy, he
said he's going to deliver the
quarter, I absolutely believe
it... Remember, also, we had
Fortune Brands (FO)
CEO, that's another guy who said
he'd deliver, I thought I'd
believe it... OI has big natural
gas costs, we know that 2009 is
the year of natural gas, we
think that OI is being hurt on a
cost basis... The stock has gone
from $56 down to $41, I had to
sell it for
my charitable trust...
I took the sacrifice, why?...
Because I am worried about
natural gas raw costs, to make
glass... Also, Goldman Sachs
pulled it from its conviction
buy list... That crushed the
stock too because they have been
the big promoter of OI. So, I'm
on the fence. Down at $41 it
seems to be okay, but I have to
tell you, I need to see the
quarter before I get behind that
one... Don't buy, don't buy...
EXC - You got EXC?... Then
you've got excellence. EXC is my
favorite utility and it's been
for a very long time. It's a
growth utility, it's the old
Philly Electric... it's got good
nuclear exposure, it's terrific.
Do they have enough natural
gas?... I don't know... When I
look at a stock like
Chesapeake (CHK)
today, I say, boy, we've got to
get some utilities there
building natural gas plants...
Witness the fact that
Dynegy Inc. (DYN)
and LS were unable, because of a
Georgia judge, to be able to
build a coal plant... EXC
doesn't have to worry, it's got
nukes.
DUK - Well, I've got to tell
you... We know that DUK has got
a visionary as a leader, that
guy James Rogers, excellent
piece in the New York Times two
Sundays ago, about what he is
thinking, and what's he's
doing... But I will not regard
that as a solar play... In the
end, like it or not, he's Mr.
Coal... He's King Coal... And
I've got to tell you, I don't
want to be King Coal... I like
DUK, it's okay, it's got a good
yield... I like
Con Ed
(ED)
more if you want yield, and if
you want a growth utility
indeed, once again, I like
Exelon Corp. (EXC)...
EXC is excellent.
VZ - Oh, no, nothing acts
worse than the Phillies my
friend, except for maybe Ford
Motor... Okay, here's the
deal... I think that VZ is good,
it has a 5% yield, that seems to
be the rock bottom for VZ...
Here's the problem... Both VZ
and
AT&T (T)
suddenly have been perceived as
dead money, with that dividend
no longer propping them up,
because people feel that yes,
that Barack Obama, if elected,
as the putative leader in the
polls, if elected, the first
thing he will do is get rid of
the favorable dividend
treatment, where 85% of your
dividend is excluded from
taxes... If that's the case, VZ
is going to trade down to $31,
too... I don't think it's going
to happen... I want to buy VZ
here... And T at $33, I want to
buy that one too... These are
contrarian plays... Don't
forget,
Centurytel (CTL)
and
Windstream (WIN),
for those who want an even
bigger dividend... I will not
buy
Qwest (Q),
ever since Billy Bar left Quest,
I want nothing to do with it.
HEV - That's one of my
favorite specs... That's one
that could be $4 down and $20
up... I think that you want to
be in that, not just for the
CNBC game, which is really an
amazing game... It's a game
stock, it's a lithium battery. I
want to reiterate, by the way,
that I think that
Sociedad Quimica (SQM)
is the cheapest of these, the
stock has been hammered
mercilessly... I want to own it
for
my charitable trust, that's how
much I like this one... Sociedad
Chemica is a better play for
conservatives, although, boy, it
sure doesn't act conservative.
WB - You know, one of the
reasons why I have not been able
to go bullish on this market is
because of
Citigroup (C)...
it's because of
Washington Mutual (WM),
which looks like it's trying to
put in a bottom, it's because of
Bank of America (BAC),
and it's because of WB. I was
talking with my friend David
Faber in the hallway, we were
both trying to get around the
fact that WB, just now, decided
it wasn't going to do the pay
option arms anymore... They
spent $25 billion to buy
GoldenWest, and it's ending up
costing them $50 billion,
because that's the write-offs...
My take is this... WB, when they
fired the CEO, who basically
built the bank... That was a
signal to you that they're in
bigger trouble than you think...
I think we could have a short
squeeze in the financials, but
sell half tomorrow, and then
sell the other half if we get a
squeeze. I do not like WB... I
am very worried about it.
EMKR - Well, you know, what
can I say... It's really
speculative, it's got
communications, it really got
crushed lately, it's got some
solar in it... It's really kind
of a pastiche, a virtual mosaic,
of companies... It's not my cup
of tea, but you know what?... If
you want to do a house of pain
and maybe with a little bit of
pressure down there, I think you
can use that as a speculative
stock, but, it's not for me.

Back up the truck -
indicated by Jim, when he
says the stock is so good,
that he would do a
'mon-back' on the stock...
In other words, this is the
sound someone would say to a
truck driver, "Come on
back... " as he is "backing
up the truck" to load up on
his cargo. Translation
for buying stocks:
This recommendation by Jim
indicates that, after you do
your own
homework on the stock,
you should feel comfortable
loading up on it, as it is
in a good position to be

Stumped. - Of the
2,000+ stocks that Jim
Cramer has in his head, for
which he has an informed
opinion, he sometimes comes
across a caller with a stock
he does not know well enough
to opine on... He then
indicates he is stumped and
will have to come back to
it, after he does some
homework of his own on
the stock. This
usually occurs during the
Lightning Round, when Jim
does not know in advance who
is calling, or what their
stock question is about.
Definitions of key phrases
used by Jim, known as
"Cramerisms":
Definition: 'Pull the
trigger' is Jim's phrase for making
the decision at that point to trade -
either to 'buy' or
to 'sell' (although he
usually uses the phrase for
buying), as if to say you
should feel comfortable
enough to make the final
decision without looking
back...
Definition: 'Ring
the Register' is Jim's phrase for
selling a stock, and making
it a final sale, that you
should not look back on.
Put it behind you.
Definition:'Let It Come In' indicates how you
may wait for it to pull back, or have the
stock price come down briefly, as your
chance (after letting it come in) to buy
the rest of your position (i.e., total
number of shares you own in that stock).
Definition:'backing it up'
or 'doing a 'mon-back' is Jim's
phrase for the metaphor of backing up a
truck to load up on a stock by buying
it. 'Mon-back is short for the
imaginary worker saying, 'Come on
back...' as the truck is backing up to
receive its load... Notice that we use
the little truck icon to indicate where
Jim has mentioned this.
Translation for buying
stocks: This
recommendation by Jim
indicates that, after you do
